Unfortunately, I don't think printing to a printer works in Ethereal on
Windows, as nobody has yet written code to use the Windows APIs to print
stuff (unless there's some command in Windows to which you can pipe a
file to print it, in which case I guess we could use that; at least
Windows *has* such an API, unlike many UNIX systems, grumble
grumble...).

For now, you could try printing to a file (give it a name that ends with
".txt" if it's text and probably ".ps" if it's PostScript), and then
print that file from Windows and delete it once you've sent it to the
printer.
